Last week wo mentioned the ap propriateness of the "iist of July as tho date of the unveiling of the monument to tho Confederate sol diers of Oconee. Tito three compa nies at the front on tho 2 Isl of July, is?; I, were the first mustered In from IMckens District, and they par ticipated In the Kirs. Hallie of Ma nnssas on (hat mom rabie day. Hut we lind that I ?'y 2 I si carries an additional reason for careful con sideration as to the dato for tho un veiling. Our informal ion last week was entirely correct. Put not entirely full. Al the same time that the Fourth Itegiment, to which three companies freon IMckens District belonged, was In tho 'hick of the fray ul Manassas. their enmrades at home were busy tilling u|> Ibo ranks of Orr's Rei no nt of Ritles. that famous regiment which did such valiant service for tho cause of the Confederacy. lt was on July 21st, I SUI, thal this regiment was mustered in at the famous old muster grounds at Sandy Springs. This regiment was com pleted on that date, four companies coing in from Oconee (then known as- a pan nf IMckens District'), three companies from Anderson, two from Abbeville, and one company from Marion. Each of those companies mensa.od up lo t lu. requirements of one hundred men and four olllcers, and .-onie ol' the companies contained considerably more than the required number. The regiment as a whole, f bet? fore. numbered i ;>nsiderat)ly more than I he n.ssa ry one thou sand privates and forty regimental and compati} olllcers.
